"It's been a quiet Summer, toon-wise, but the Autumn/Winter
schedule
is
shaping up nicely. In particular Aardman's Pirates!
have just arrived on Blu-ray
and DVD, with a new short
film to boot. And Arthur Christmas is on his way.
It's rare we get even one animated movie to discuss
round these parts, so
having two from the same studio, within a couple of
months of each other
- well - that's something special, isn't it?
Speaking of Christmas, this year it's going to
be very snowy and special
indeed, because it's the 30th anniversary of that TVC
classic The Snowman.
What's more, we're getting a brand new film, to celebrate.
There's a whole
lot riding on that one, for sure, and the recent
death of John Coates certainly
adds an extra poignancy to everything. The word is,
however, that the new
story is already melting hearts. Have they bottled
lightning twice? - We'll find
out very soon..."
